secretary kerry is carrying that out. i think that economic sanctions would obviously be more effective if they're multi lateral with the yup peens. and president obama said this yesterday, president putin can be a part of a international system in which we all cooperate, in which we understand that de stabilizing a country is not useful or he can be isolated. and the economic sanctions are the way to do that. you have already -- it's been reported all morning -- is that russians are having trouble with their currency, with a variety of aspects with their own economy. and they can be isolated. it obviously would be better if this were multi-lateral sanctions with the yup peens, but that is one tool. and we also have to think about what nato can be doing. the polls have asked for help in terms of some of the countries that are nato members around the ukraine. i think the economic sanctions done properly are a way to isolate president putin. >> madame secretary, as you look at this from the 30,000-foot view and you say vlad

scare of state john kerry says he is in direct contact with russia's foreign minister. defense secretary chuck hagel is taking a very different tact. warning them to stay out of the ukraine. >> for more on this, we have a contributing editor at atlantic media. talk about a confusing situation. it feels like a very critical moment in what direction this crisis is going to go. you have two airports where they have armed gunmen, you have the ukrainian government saying it's an armed invasion by russia. what do you think this tells us? >> russia suffered a big defeat with this revolution of viktor yanukovych. i think what putin is trying to do is send a message that ukraine cannot be anti-russian. one of the leverages they have is the area of crimea. it used to be part of russia, not part of the ukraine. maybe half the people in the crimea are ethnically russian. so by stirring up some kind of secession sentiment there, it's a way of sending a message to the capitol kiev, if you go too far, we're going to stir up a movement that's going to cause you a lot of problems. >> do

>> obama and kerry have both said strongly that they do not consider this to be in any way reflective of the cold war. but they said that when they felt like they were winning with the new ukrainian government that wanted to jettison the russians and orient themselves toward europe. i assure you putin sees this 100% in cold war terms. ukraine is considered a part of russia, but overwhelmingly by the russian people and by the kremlin. they have absolutely no intention of letting it go. at no point did the americans call on the ukrainian government to respect the terms of the military lease, for example, ongoing military lease with the ukrainian base. the russians see all of this as the potential of loss of their own empire in their backyard. i assure you there is absolutely no chance that putin's going to simply allow that to happen. so from his perspective it's very zero sum, it's very confrontational, and they're not going to let it go and the americans are going to have to deal with that fact. >> all righty. ian bremer, thank you so much for being with us, and what's going on there.
